Is the process of making and using codes to secure the transmission of information.
Cryptanalysis
Cryptography
Encryption
Decryption
is the process of obtaining the original message (called the plaintext) from an encrypted message (called the ciphertext)
Cryptography
Cryptanalysis
Encryption
Decryption
is the process of converting the ciphertext message back into plaintext so that it can be readily understood.
Encryption
Decryption
What year did RSA Algorithm developed public cipher?
1977
1978
Substitute one value for another, for example a letter in the alphabet with the letter three values to the right.
Substitution Cipher
Transposition Cipher
This can be done at the bit level or at the byte (character) level.
Transposition Cipher
Substitution Cipher
Also known as the one-time pad, which was developed by AT&T, uses a set of characters only one time for each encryption process.
Vernam Cipher
Eclusive OR
Are mathematical algorithms that generate a message summary or digest (sometimes called a fingerprint) to confirm the identity of a specific message and to confirm that there have not been any changes to the content.
Hash Functions
Hash algorithms
It was developed by IBM and is based on the company’s Lucifer algorithm, which uses a key length of 128 bits.
Data Encryption Standard (DES)
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
is called private key encryption
Symmetric Encryption
Asymmetric Encryption
Systems are based on public-key cryptosystems and include digital certificates and certificate authorities (CAs).
Digital certificates
Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Which issues, manages, authenticates, signs, and revokes users’ digital certificates, which typically contain the user name, public key, and other identifying information.
Certificate Authority (CA)
Registration Authority (RA)
Certificate directories
Encrypted messages that can be mathematically proven authentic. Asymmetric encryption processes are used to create digital signatures.
Policies and procedures
Digital Signatures
Technically not a form of cryptography, it is another way of protecting the confidentiality of information in transit
Hybrid Cryptography Systems
Steganography
AES supports key lengths up to 128 bits, but is not compatible with older hardware.
True
False
Is a de facto industry standard for short-range wireless communications between devices.
Blue tooth
Hotspot
Wifi
Are a collection of brute-force methods that attempt to deduce statistical relationships between the structure of the unknown key and the ciphertext generated by the cryptosystem.
Man-in-the-middle attack
Correlation attacks
Dictionary attack
Timing attack
Attempts to intercept a public key or even to insert a known key structure in place of the requested public key
Man-in-the-middle attack
Correlation attacks
Dictionary attack
Timing attack
Asymmetric Encryption
uses two different but related keys, and either key can be used to encrypt or decrypt the message.
True
False
A network-based IDPS (NIDPS) resides on a storage device only which is connected to a segment of an organization’s network and monitors network traffic on that network segment, looking for indications of ongoing or successful attacks.
True
False
